The one that does that insane Elbow from the top as her finisher?

Kairi Sane?

She is on NXT.
Yah why hasn't she been called up yet?

Not her time yet. They are still trying to figure out what to do with Asuka.

This, and to me she isn't that interesting. At least Asuka WAS. (until they ruined her)

Can she speak English? Asuka not being able to is killing her on TV.

same with Nakamura. this is why i don't understand the reasoning for WWE not using managers anymore. i guess it's too much more of a burden for their wonderful writers...

It seems now that there's little to no advantages of getting to the main roster from NXT. NXT is far and away the best show on WWE but once their stars go to the main roster they all struggle for the most part. Sad to see how stars like Roode, Nakamura, Asuka, Bayley and Balor have lost so much momentum going to the main roster

But I doubt they are complaining about the pay raise.

Kind of how it should work though. Do you go from Triple A to the bigs and enter as Barry Bonds?

Sometimes you go from High School to pros (skipping the minors/college) and end up like Lebron (Ronda Rousey)

Its an entertainment business, not a sport though. If Vince thinks you will make money for him, you go to the top.

I'm hoping that the long term story line can incorporate an influx of the top Japanese wrestlers - with them all forming a stable with a good manager/mouthpiece (Heyman?) and "translator" with the back story being that they were "buried" due to poor English/Mic skills.

Lets get Nakamura and Asuka on one show with Heyman as a start......

Io Shirai just signed with the company about two weeks ago and will be in the upcoming Mae Young Classic. She's one of the best female wrestlers in the business so it will be interesting to see what route they go with her.

Tidbit: Shirai was supposed to debut at last year's Mae Young Classic but an undisclosed medical condition changed WWE's mind, who instead signed her former promotion's next best wrestler, Kairi Sane.

Andrade doesnt speak strong English so im curious as to why he was given a mouth piece vs the wwe finding a mouth piece for other wrestlers who are foreign and lacking English speaking mic skills.
